Do Your Speakers have LEVEL CONTROLS or EQUALIZERS? (Vintage or Modern)
MANY Vintage Speakers had/have Level Controls, and a few big speaker arrays had external equalizers.

Many of you know It’s my contention ALL SPEAKERS should have Level Controls, to refine their frequency distribution in your space at your positioning in that space, and re-adjust for any space you move/use them in.
L-Pads retain impedance shown to the crossover; Potentiometers alter what is shown to the crossover a bit.
